Every moment of existence is a miracle—a beautiful, ceaseless dance between energy and matter. This simple yet profound truth forms the foundation of both spiritual wisdom and modern science. In this dance, we are not mere observers; we are participants, co-creators, and artists in the grand masterpiece of life.

I am a long-time subscriber to both Unity Magazine and Spirituality and Health magazine and as luck would have it, they recently joined forces to continue this amazing publication.

There was a powerful article published in this magazine about a year ago that has stuck with me. It was an interview by Rabbi Rami Shapiro with Don Miguel Ruiz in a transformative dialogue entitled “The Art of Being Energy.”

These teachings presented by both wise teachers offer a roadmap for living with clarity, authenticity, and freedom, guiding us out of the fog of illusion and into the light of truth. Here’s a small summary of what they explored together:

The Dance of Creation

Every single human being is an artist. We may not all paint or write, but we create nonetheless—with our thoughts, our words, our actions. Creation is as natural to us as breathing because, like energy itself, we are always in the act of becoming.

This idea resonates deeply with my own journey as a teacher of consciousness. When I look at my life, I see countless moments where I unconsciously created experiences that reflected my inner energy. Only when I began to align my thoughts and emotions with higher truths did I start living in the domain of miracles. This is the essence of conscious living: understanding that we are the artists of our reality and then learning how to pick up the brush of our own existence to paint the stunning mural of our own lives.

Breaking Through the Fog

Ruiz offers a timeless reminder: "I am God. You are God. Everything is God." Yet, most of us struggle to see this because we are trapped in a fog of beliefs, opinions, and assumptions that obscure the divine reality.

For me, this fog became glaringly apparent when I became a mother. There’s nothing like the arrival of a tiny, helpless being to show you that you are not, in fact, the center of the universe. Suddenly, every plan, every thought, every ounce of energy had to bend to the needs of someone else. It was humbling, yes, but it was also liberating. It showed me that life’s true purpose lies in service, in giving, and in love.

Living with Clarity and Freedom

Absolute clarity is the ability to see through the fog, to perceive reality as it is, not as we imagine it to be. It is the recognition that everything you think about others reflects your own inner state.

I would be remiss if I didn’t share that my journey toward clarity has not been easy. Years ago, I was trapped in a different kind of fog—the fog of addiction. Recovery was a long, painful process, but it was also a sacred one. It forced me to confront my illusions and to dismantle the false stories I had told myself about who I was and what I needed to be happy. In doing so, I discovered a truth that changed everything: the clarity I sought was already within me, waiting to be uncovered.

This is why I emphasize practices like meditation, self-inquiry, and conscious living in my work. These tools help us peel back the layers of illusion and reconnect with the truth of who we are—divine beings engaged in the sacred dance of life.

The Invitation

Today, I invite you to pause and reflect: What stories are you telling about yourself and the world? Are they rooted in truth, or are they part of the fog?

As you clear the mental clutter and embrace the art of being energy, you will find a new level of freedom and joy. You will see that life is not something happening to you—it is something you are co-creating with every emotion, thought, and action.

Step into the dance. Become the artist of your life. And remember: beneath the fog, you are, and have always been, divine.
